When I was in the stable on Christmas Eve, the light was beautiful. Owning a pony means going to the stables (almost) every day, so when we went back on Boxing Day, the weather was totally different. First, we tried to get our own pony Rocket to run in the snow, but he didn’t want to. So when one of the other girls was going to ride her pony Isaac on the outside riding ground, I grabbed my camera.
Due to the heavy snow, the camera had real problems finding focus on the rider, so I got a lot of blurry photos of snowflakes…
I think the photos have a quality of their own, though. That slightly abstract, surreal feeling where the rider is not in focus, enables the viewer to focus on the feel of the photo….
I tried different camera settings, and found that I had to use mostly manual focus…
Tomorrow is another day, with new photo opportunities. Camera is packed, batteries are charged…
